Mansory's Porsche Panamera Turbo: 690bhp, bold looks and 204mph
Swiss tuner Mansory has reworked the Porsche Panamera Turbo with a 690bhp engine, carbonfibre bodywork and a striking blue and yellow finish.
Mansory has turned its attention to the Porsche Panamera Turbo, unveiling a version with 690bhp, aggressive carbonfibre bodywork and a blue and yellow colour scheme that leaves little chance of going unnoticed. The Swiss firm's take on Porsche's four-door supersaloon ramps up both visual drama and performance, with the modifications extending from the engine bay to the cabin.
Engine and performance upgrades
Power is the headline: Mansory's reworked 4.8-litre twin-turbo V8 now delivers 690bhp and 850Nm of torque at 4,800rpm. That is a substantial increase over the standard Panamera Turbo of the era, achieved through a revised engine management system, larger turbochargers and a stainless steel sports exhaust. The result is a claimed 0-100km/h time of four seconds and a top speed of 328km/h (204mph).
These figures put the Mansory Panamera into territory usually reserved for supercars, reflecting the company's focus on outright numbers as well as visual impact. The additional power comes with the expectation of increased running costs and a more aggressive character, but for buyers in this segment that is rarely a deterrent.
Exterior and interior modifications
The Mansory Panamera stands out immediately thanks to its bright blue paintwork, complemented by yellow trim on both the exterior and interior. Carbonfibre is used extensively: the bonnet, front and rear spoilers, wheel arch extensions and rear diffuser are all constructed from the lightweight material. The result is a car that is visually lower and wider than the standard Panamera, with a more aggressive stance.
Inside, the yellow accents continue, matching the exterior details. The overall effect is one of maximalist design, aimed at those who want their Panamera to stand well apart from the factory model or even other tuned examples.
Wheels, tyres and chassis
Mansory fits 22-inch alloy wheels, nine inches wide at the front and ten inches at the rear. Tyres are Dunlop, with 265/30ZR22 at the front and 295/25ZR22 at the rear. These dimensions are chosen to fill the wider arches and provide the necessary grip for the increased power, though ride comfort will inevitably be firmer than the standard car.
Pricing and rivals
The price for the Mansory Panamera Turbo is reported to approach €230,000, positioning it well above the standard car and most rivals. This places it in competition with other high-end tuning packages for the Panamera, such as those from Lumma Design and Hofele-Design, as well as the most powerful factory models from Porsche itself.
- Lumma Design CLR 700 GT wide-body kit for Porsche Panamera
- Hofele-Design Rivage GT 970 tuning kit for Porsche Panamera
- Standard Porsche Panamera Turbo S
For buyers seeking a unique take on the Panamera Turbo, Mansory's conversion offers both extreme performance and a visual statement that is unlikely to be mistaken for anything else on the road.
